In the name of research, of course, I've been scoffing mince pies since 30th of August. Hey, it's not my fault the grocery stores decide to stock up so early!
So far, Sainsbury's Taste the Difference range is leading for both flavour and casing. Particularly their frangipane variant. Especially warmed up - the frangipane goes even softer and slightly gooey when heated.
Their more basic own-brand are terrible, though. Dry pastry and not enough filling.
Follow me for more super important tips 👍
@9ddd61cd yeah, I'm planning to compile a todo list today, of things I need to do to get back to where I was at with it. Not looking forward to the realisation this invokes...
Yesterday I installed #Godot and began fumbling around to see how it works. Here marks the start of the porting of my WIP #MMORPG , Argentauria, from #Unity . Happy #ScreenshotSaturday
Also, many advanced apologies for the now inevitable upcoming downfall of Godot. I'm genuinely cursed - just about every toolset I've turned to over the last 27 years has subsequently fallen. The current Unity situation is probably my fault 😆

@9ddd61cd there are so very many aspects to development - not even just the gamedev field - that literally every developer finds some of those aspects difficult. I'm sure nobody will disagree that absolutely all of us regularly go through the feeling that everybody else is better at "this".
And for what it's worth, I've never entered any kind of jam myself, and I never will. I don't find deadlines like that even remotely fun. So you're already better at them than I ever will be 😉
Sometimes I look at my code and wonder why my brain works the way it does...
For example, why, for probably a year now, have I been doing -Vector3.up to get a down vector in various different scripts, instead of just using Vector3.down? 😂🤦♂️
Does anybody else find it difficult to work when the thermometer on their desk is pushing 30c and half of their face has melted off, or is that just me? 😩
@b65192d2 both do happen, sadly. But by the time somebody is old enough to drive, I imagine they're too old for trafficking, so the car attachment trick does seem out of place there. Much more likely for theft than abduction.
In the UK, they're abducted pre/early teen and/or coerced into drug addiction when they're still naive and impressionable. Once hooked, they'll agree to anything for another hit, and their dependence makes them less likely to run too.
I hate that i know this 😔
@b65192d2 they're not necessarily wrong about this one, actually. It's an old trick - put something noticeable but tricky to remove on a car, and the owner stops to wonder about / remove it, just long enough to grab them.
I expect it's more likely for handbag theft than trafficking, but that doesn't really make it any more acceptable.
